And why would people not want to buy items still? If anything it'd promote RMT. Why go back and camp for hours when you can just paypal some guy.

Put griefer twinks on notice? Are you dumb? They're going to grief even harder. They'll be able to kill lowbies and steal their stuff. In the off chance you somehow kill a griefer twink you won't be able to loot their epic or a lot of their no drop gear.

A lot of your bug threads and suggestions are horribly bad. Please stop.

Manastones arent classic. They got removed from all servers drop list by Verant for a reason.

potus must be trolling cause one time he tried to convince everyone that necros were an awful pvp class in classic

You claiming you do research is even funnier.

Wait is that the thread you stopped posting in when you said people just need to learn how to put dots behind buffs? Yeah, that was pretty bad.

Necros are fine 1-50. They're garbage in Kunark and Velious. Nothing new here, anyone that played classic would know that.

necros are fine in pvp, just no skilled players here really

LOLOL found this gem of a quote, too. Yeah, no good necros have ever played here. Wasn't the RZ botb Necro on this server?

That should tell you quite a lot.

I started on a PvP server and remember item loot. You only had one chance, if you mis-clicked on a bag or no drop item you couldn't try to loot again even though you didn't get anything.

I remember drooling over shin lord greaves because they were no drop ;P

This is the way it was... I played on Vallon.

And I cannot even tell you how many times the fights started and immediately started getting my good items into bags. You really weren't safe from PvP til you were 50 and had your planar no drop gear... Thank god planar gear was no drop!

There seems less concern on red for being true to classic. No item recharge, xp mods, soulfire restricted. Dont get me wrong I think limiting abusive clickers is good for the game, but I'm not sure the staff really is going to buy into this bc "classic"

Take xp on death off blue. Too brutal?

I would def want to keep planar and other items no drop.

As Nilbog mentioned it brings value to completing quests for what people thought were worthless items before (not to mention quests people may have never done here that need to be fixed up).

Having a base set of planar gear with SOME resists on it also makes it so end game pvp isn't people with literally base magic resist (after being dispelled).

Wizards really aren't as scary as everyone thinks with item loot tbh (and I think the naked wizard owning everyone in PvP is a long dispelled myth by now)... provided its not level 60s sunstriking people trying to xp in city of mist (dis 8 lvl range man..) :P.

We can put this issue to rest with a flat "no" from box Emperor Rogean whenever he emerges from his training in the Dagobah system/SMS/password stuff here [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

However, I'd strongly suggest putting this in with the 4 level range. Rallos Zek will smile down hard upon people buying CoFs and Trak BPs. Many Outback dinners will go down the drain. Pras.
